About the Author

Jason is passionate about gardening, having grown his own produce for over twenty years. He started with a second hand greenhouse, an 8' by 6' patch of his mother's garden and far too many tomato plants. After turning the greenhouse into a tomato farm, he was hooked at the taste of the first ripe tomato. Since then he was worked his way through various allotments and gardens, growing everything from radishes to carrots to giant pumpkins. He discovered he loved gardening and loved eating what he grew even more. Soon he had graduated to four freezers and two refrigerators to store everything that he made with the produce that came off the allotment. He shares this knowledge in his gardening books, hoping to inspire people to take up gardening themselves and successfully grow their own delicious fresh fruit and vegetables. As well as this, Jason is a qualified clinical hypnotist and NLP Practitioner and loves to help people change their lives and achieve their goals in life.
